The JCB No 11 Pinot Noir opens with a bouquet of dried cranberries, pomegranate, and mushroom aromas. On the palate, this vibrant wine is bursting with flavors of black cherry and raspberries layered upon notes of baking spices intermingled with a touch of graphite. This is a full-bodied Pinot Noir with a silky mouth feel and an expansive mid-palate leading to a long lingering finish.

For Jean-Charles, the age of 11 was a magical time in life, an age of endless possibilities and burgeoning dreams. Inevitably, the number 11 became the number behind the wine, one of his favorite Pinot Noirs, and a reminder of an enchanting time in life.

Brian Maloney blends this wine from four vineyards in the hills north of the Petaluma Gap Doña Margarita, Highlands, Ferguson and Fiddler all windy, fog-influenced sites on sandy soils. Grounded in the cool earth of the coast, this dives into cool fruit, with the flavor of fresh-picked berries. That fruit feels clean and pure, lasting in scents of roses and cardamom, bright and zesty, then deepening into the dark tones of tannins. Its integration gives it richness that feels tied to the intensity of the Pacific, the wine's cool scent lasting into the far distance.
